Yes, the speed of light is faster than the speed at which nerve impulses travel.

This isn't a question of physics it's a question of biology because we need to interpret what we see to determine which course of action to take. It has nothing to do with the speed of light. Once the light hits the retina it moves at the speed of nerve impulses to the brain which then processes the light and forms an image. Then the decision making process kicks in and we choose an action (or inaction which is sometimes best). It's cause and effect. We see, we react. It wouldn;t work the other way (unless your psychic of course)
